What Archaeology Says

The Atacama Desert contains over 5,000 geoglyphs created by pre-Columbian cultures (primarily Nazca, Tiwanaku, and other Andean civilizations) dating from roughly 1500 BCE to 1500 CE. These geoglyphs represent ritual, astronomical, and agricultural purposes documented through archaeological and ethnographic study.
